10/10 Exceptional
We really enjoyed our stay there and would/will again. It's perfectly locate in North Berkeley for restaurants and shops. It's a 25 minute walk to the Greek Theatre where we saw Morrissey.

Great Stay
We had a great stay at this hotel it was close to the Greek Theater. The bed was comfortable the balcony was a nice touch. They don’t have their own parking and you can’t stay in the parking lot that belongs to the grocery store next door. We still managed to find good parking close and the car was safe. Were definitely going to stay here again!

This hotel appeared to be a little on the older side and was not the nicest hotel we have stayed at. Parking was annoying since the hotel does not have any included and street parking is limited to certain times and durations. The hotel room itself was huge which was awesome. You have to enter through the cafe to get to the hotel which is a little weird but the service was great and everyone was friendly. Our TV kept disconnecting from the hdmi and reconnecting which sucked but aside from that we had a great stay.

I really enjoyed staying here and will do it again. I had trouble getting the TV to work, but wasn't there to watch TV. I loved the cafe downstairs and parking on the street at night was easy enough.

Would totally stay here again. They do not have a parking lot but we only had to park 1 block away. The coffee shop in the morning is pretty delicious with lots of regulars enjoying their drinks here. Staff was very nice & friendly. Room was quiet & clean. Bed was comfortable. Fun neighborhood. Zero complaints.

Small cute hotel in downtown Berkeley
Great location in downtown Berkeley near by cute restaurants and coffee shops and breweries. Came for a family wedding. Super comfy bed, balcony, robe, slippers, toiletries and clean and the service at the front desk was fantastic. I would definitely come back. It’s also located next door to a supermarket.
